usage of colours in pie-charts  
Written by Biggi the 2 Dec 09 at 08:34. Related project: 1.x all. New
Hi,

it would be helpful for comparability of the statistical graphs by using consequently the same colour for first, second, third … answer even if there is no answer given on one choice. For example there are some questions of type 5 point choice array. On one question nobody gives the answer “1”. Now you look at your graphs of the statistic and in all pie-charts you see blue=”1”, red=”2”, green=”3”, yellow=”4” and olive=”5” only in the one, where no one selected the first choice “1” blue stands for “2”, red for “3” and so on. To compare the charts it would be better to skip the colour where the statistical answers are null.

Solution #1: use consequently same colours in pie-charts
Written by Biggi the 2 Dec 09 at 08:34.
Like I mentioned above it would be helpful to have always the same colours for the first, second ... answer in the pie-charts and to skip the colour where the statistical answers are null.

support of FirebirdSQL RDBMS  
Written by zufolo the 15 Feb 11 at 15:21. Related project: 2.x all. New
For me, is really difficult to manage data in MySQL... I need a powerful SQL engine in order to write procedure for analyzing data, and for this we usually make use of Firebird.

Radar charts  
Written by newleo the 6 Nov 10 at 14:13. Related project: 2.x all. New
I wanted to use Limesurvey for Assessment, but I would have to download the data to do it in excel, because there aren't radar charts. Is there any chance these are in your roadmap?

the complaint of filter stats sets  
Written by darknico84 the 4 Nov 10 at 10:04. Related project: 1.x all. New
In some situation where you have to "replay" many times the same filters sets on various surveys (but with same question set) it can be very long and bothering to click each time on hundreds of filter sets.

Solution #1: Creating macros for stats filters
Written by darknico84 the 4 Nov 10 at 10:04.
It might be very convenient to be able to re-use a specified filter set without having to choose everything, item by item, each time.
That's why, it could be nice to be able to save your filter settings, to load them back when required and eventually to copy these sets from a survey to another.

Thanks :)

To allow a freer use of NEXT button in the input screen  
Written by mapwork the 3 Nov 10 at 19:39. Related project: 1.x all. New
Actually survey users either have press the next button after each questions or after filled out the complete number of questions belonging to questions group.

The first option is often tiring, while the second on may result in very large / long input screens.

The options of creating small question groups is not always convenient as they normally correspond to a logical unit (for which e.g. you want to keep or provide an assessment score).

Solution #1: Optional NEXT button for each question
Written by mapwork the 3 Nov 10 at 19:39.
An option would be to provide each question with the option to insert a NEXT button between that and the next question.

In this way the input screens would be better controlled for more user convenience without compromising the logical structure of the questions groups

Advanced reporting for assessments  
Written by tiprichard the 25 Sep 09 at 17:17. Related project: 2.x all. New
For assessments we need statistics about howmany people passed the assessment. (like an exam)
For auditing purposes we need reports how many points are scored per group as percentage of the total possible points. If possible shown in a spiderweb graph, where each group equals one line of the web.

Solution #2: Use Red-R for advance reporting

There is an open source application used to do data analysing of results and making charts from it. This application is Red-R (http://www.red-r.org). Will this help you with what you need to do?

Solution #3: BIRT or JasperReport
Written by najlamif the 6 Apr 11 at 08:54.
As with Solution 1, I would like to propose either BIRT or Jasper Reports - I've used both recently in my PHP projects, and they bring a world of a difference to reporting - taking the design aspects and business logic out of the application and moving them to the reporting layer. Also, the various exports are handled as well

as administrator of the survey, it would be great to see the comments in PDF too  
Written by aalano the 23 Aug 10 at 05:52. Related project: 1.x all. New
My survey has list comments questionnaire but I am unable to see the comments when I generate the stats in PDF or Excel. For report consolidation purposes, I think it will be extremely helpful to be abel to see the comments typed by respondents even in the PDF and Excel format.

Option to show text responses in statistics view (via filter)  
Written by Doc101 the 23 Jul 10 at 13:38. Related project: 1.x all. New
We need to disseminate survey results to a large amount of people, and creating users/group and access permissions, plus training everyone to be able to pull result data etc is not practical.

The ability to show text responses and export them from the statistics page would solve this problem and allow quick dissemination of qualitative and qualitative data in an easy to use, familiar format (PDF/Excel)

Solution #1: Filter option to show all text responses to a question
Written by Doc101 the 23 Jul 10 at 13:38.
I think having a filter option to show/export text responses is the best way to go. People will then have the option of keeping all the data quantifiable (as it is now) with the ability to 'browse' responses OR allowing all text responses to be shown directly in the statistics page without having to open any new windows, and with available in the PDF/Excel exports.

Thanks!

When looking at the statistics, some questions have open field and you can browse them in a popup.
It would be nice to add (repeat) the question in the top of the popup window

Create statistics for date questions  
Written by Mazi the 15 Jan 10 at 16:28. Related project: 1.x all. New
Up to now (LS 1.87) there are no statistics for question type "date" available. It would be nice to create some charts (showing results in a table isn't necessary from my point of view) so the admin gets an overview which date was entered.
No solutions.

Open Answertable up so that we can alter formatting  
Written by creek138 the 14 Oct 09 at 22:02. Related project: 1.x all. New
In addition to plenty of other uses, we utilize this software to implement all of our annual evaluations (we are nonprofit). It works very well, however, the formatting on the print answers screen is not suitable for presentation to the employee. We would love for the managers in our organization to be able to printh the answers on the fly and sit down with the employee. Currently however, this is not an option.

At current, we have the managers submit each evaluation. Then we have encoded LS so that it routes a text file of the token to a server which then processes that token in a Crystal Report (the CR build was painstaking as LS's DBO is not condusive to pull answers (which are encoded as a string of the Sid,Gid,and Qid) with the questions and label sets. Not only is this workaround inefficient, but it's convoluted and labor intensive (still better than anything else out there, especially for the price!) .

Solution #1: Open up Answertable!
Written by creek138 the 14 Oct 09 at 22:02.
There are two solutions I can think of:

1. Build Answertable so that we can change the formatting in an editor, allow us to include all labelsets with the question and indicate which one is selected. Allow for dop and drag placement

2. You guys already have a BEAUTIFUL printable version of the survey as an option, but you have to print it out and then write in the answers by hand, can you somehow merge the answertable with this printable version?
